Tree Plantation
Introduction: Since the dawn of
civilization man has had a close relationship with nature. Man has made friends with
nature. Nature helps us in many ways. Similarly, trees are closely related to
our lives. They are our friends. Trees play an important role in our life and
economy.
Scope of plantation: Bangladesh is a
low-riparian country. Upper levels are the most suitable places to plant trees.
Sea beaches and low-lying unused lands can be used for planting trees. We can
plant trees on both sides of roads and highways. Again in the villages, there are many proper places that can be used for tree plantation.
Proper time of tree plantation: June
and July are the best time for tree plantation. The tree plantation programme
should be expanded to the remote corner of the country. The officers connected
with this programme should take proper steps and needful measures to make it a
success. They should try to make it popular all over the country.
Trees provide us with food and
vitamins: Trees are our best friends. They are our great source of food and
vitamins. There are various kinds of fruit trees. They give us various kinds of
fruits which are rich in food value and vitamins. They meet our local
demands. They also meet up with our vitamin deficiency. As a result, people can keep
their bodies fit and sound by eating fruits. Again, we export fruits to many
other countries and earn a lot of foreign exchange.
Trees provide us with furniture: Trees
are our constant companions in our day-to-day lives. We use them for various
purposes. We cannot think of our homes, houses, residences, etc. without trees.
We use trees to make furniture, windows, and doors for our domestic use. Again,
valuable furniture is made from these trees. We sell some pieces of valuable
furniture to foreign countries. Thus trees increase the beauty of our dwelling
places.
Its impact on climate: Trees bear a
great impact on the climate. If we destroy trees at random, one day the country
will turn into a great desert. The country will bear the consequences of the greenhouse
effect. Again, there will be no rain and as a result, the country will face a great crisis because ours is an agricultural country and our economy is
dependent on agriculture. Again, our agriculture is dependent on rain. Trees
play a vital role in our climate. Trees keep the soil strong. Trees save us
from floods and many other natural calamities.
Conclusion: It is needless to speak the
importance of trees. It is not possible to describe the importance and uses of
trees in words. They are part and parcel of our day-to-day life. We cannot
think of our existence without them. Rabindranath says, “Back the forest, and
take your town”.
